help with pushing up my FSB...

[PaulReetz]

ok I have a Tbred B 2400+, Giga-byte 7VAX mobo, and one stick of PC2100 512 DDR. I know the RAM is not to great but I've heard of others pushing their FSB up to 166 and lowering the multiplier to 12/12.5. not OCing yet, just optimaizing performance. So anyway, the furthest I can push the FSB up to is 165...not cause its not satble beyond that or anything, but because my BIOS simply won't let me. It says enter a DEC number between 133 and 165. I cant get it any higher! Do I need to change my RAM bus??? I'm really at a loss here, I have no idea what to do. Also any suggestions regaurding voltages are mor ethan welcome. When doing this, what do I need to overvolt and by how much. I'm sort of thinking that since the multiplier is lower CPU is doing less work and thus dopesnt need any more volts while the RAM...does??? Please help me out!

TRy flashing to the latest BIOS.

And keep us posted. I kind of answered your first thread. I have the same chip and a kt400 mobo too and I have a LOT of options in the bios for fsb so don't know what's up with that.

Is there a bios update for your board?

I think a bios flash for gigabyte is pretty fail-safe, correct me if I'm wrong.

Also contact/email their tech people. You should definitely have more options!
